Space Invaders: Infinity Gene

I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention that Space Invaders: Infinite Gene was released on the Android Marketplace today:

It's a great game of the scrolling shooter/bullet hell variety and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who feels sure they would enjoy such a thing. It may seem an odd comment to make but, as I play it, I can't help but draw parallels with Rez - due to it's heavy serving of experimental visuals, backed up with some banging music.

There are some downsides though; the aspect ration is still suited for an iphone screen (meaning black bars at top and bottom), there's no move to SD support (filesize is 27mb) and rather bizarrely the "are you sure you want to exit?" menu is in Japanese!

If you can look past these quibbles then you'll find it both a well spent

 

WHAT?!? It's seven bucks on your marketplace? Yeah I think I'd be telling them to cram it too.

I think they sell it for around 1200 points on Xbox live arcade though - So I couldn't pass it up for just over a couple of quid.

Radiant is truly a fantastic game though. Hexage are by far one of my favourite developers on the android marketplace and Radiant's a game that no-one should be without.

 

Tell me about it! Especially when so many devs are finding a successful business model in porting their high-quality IOS games over for free with included ads.

It's a pet peeve of mine when devs try to shaft the android community with a huge mark-up over the IOS price point. It's usually around that point they get a whiney e-mail from me.
